Are constant narrow stools a cause for concern?

So I've noticed recently that I've been having constant narrow stools. The stool always comes out thicker at first but by the mid way of the evacuation it always comes out pretty narrow. Should I be worried? I don't have any other symptoms I think. No blood, no mucus, etc. It comes out pretty soft too. I get mild stomach discomfort when my stomach is almost ready to go but that's all I can think of.

Thanks

I suggest a FIT test... look on Ebay for best price... cheap and simple.

And/Or see a gastroenterologist.
